These cannot be all inclusive, feel free to add to the list

1: Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.

2: It is OK for a man to cry ONLY under the following circumstances:

(a) When a heroic dog dies to save its master.
(b) The moment Angelina Jolie starts unbuttoning her blouse.
(c) After wrecking your boss' car.
(d) One hour, 12 minutes, 37 seconds into "The Crying Game".
(e) When she is using her teeth.

3: Any Man who brings a camera to a bachelor party may be legally killed and eaten by his buddies.

4: Unless he murdered someone in your family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 12 hours.

5: If you've known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever unless you actually marry her.

6: Moaning about the brand of free beer in a buddy's fridge is forbidden. However complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable.

7: No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another man. In fact, even remembering your buddy's birthday is strictly optional. At that point, you must celebrate at a strip bar of the birthday boy's choice.

8: On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest.

9: When stumbling upon other guys watching a sporting event, you may ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing.

10: You may flatulate in front of a woman only after you have brought her to climax. If you trap her head under the covers for the purpose of flatulent entertainment, she's officially your girlfriend.

11: It is permissible to drink a fruity alcohol drink only when you're sunning on a tropical beach... and it's delivered by a topless model and only when it's free.

12: Only in situations of moral and/or physical peril are you allowed to kick another guy in the nuts.

13: Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.

14: Friends don't let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed.

15: If a man's fly is down, that's his problem, you didn't see anything.

16: Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to drink as much as the other sports watchers.

17: A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight.

18: Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both, that's just greedy.

19: If you compliment a guy on his six-pack, you'd better be talking about his choice of beer.

20: Never join your girlfriend or wife in discussing a friend of yours, except if she's withholding sex pending your response.

21: Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another man while lifting
weights:

(a) Yeah, Baby, Push it!
(b) C'mon, give me one more! Harder!
(c) Another set and we can hit the showers!

22: Never talk to a man in a bathroom unless you are on equal footing:
i.e., both urinating, both waiting in line, etc. For all other situations, an almost imperceptible nod is all the conversation you need.

23: Never allow a telephone conversation with a woman to go on longer than you are able to have sex with her. Keep a stopwatch by the phone.
Hang up if necessary.

24: The morning after you and a girl who was formerly "just a friend"
have carnal, drunken monkey sex, the fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is no reason for you not to nail each other again before the discussion about what a big mistake it was occurs.

25: It is acceptable for you to drive her car. It is not acceptable for her to drive yours.

26: Thou shalt not buy a car in the colors of brown, pink, lime green, orange or sky blue.

27: The girl who replies to the question "What do you want for Christmas?" with "If you loved me, you'd know what I want!" gets an Xbox. End of story.

28: There is no reason for guys to watch Ice Skating or Men's Gymnastics. Ever.

Question: How many "real men" does it take to change a light bulb?

Answer: None. Real men aren't afraid of the dark.

If I had a dollar for every pasty white, overweight nerd in safari pants that I have seen pile out of a Rubicon I could retire.

22 is incorrect.

Once inside a public restroom, the only word permitted to be uttered is FIRE and only if the building is, in fact, on fire.

Sounds like your checking out guys in Rubicons too much. Not that there is an acceptable threshold.

Real men don't give a damn about some arbitrary set of rules set by a bunch of hormonal idiots who would like to star in a cheap beer commercial, or be published in either of Maxim or FHM magazines.

Real men can share an umbrella at a funeral, or if one of the men is in a wheelchair.

Real men can sit and speak together in an ethnic restaurant, even when one of them is a short, chubby, white redneck Texan, and the other is a black New Yorker from Jamaica.

ehhh...I wish someone I work with had followed that rule. He says something to me and I didn't understand him, so I ask him what he said and he was just saying hello. and then it was awkward and I was like....hi....

yeah I never talked to him again.

Aint no real man ever used a damned umbreller.
Aint no real man ever watched one damned second of the crying game.

one of you can have my subscription to "Men's Journal". It was a gift from a friend of mine. I never read it - I mostly use them as a coaster. Real men don't need no magazine, poll, or list telling them how they're suppose to live their lives. :tongueout:

2(F). It is always permissable to cry with your mom when events are affecting other immediate members of your family. It is also acceptable to leave the room, cry like a baby, pray, wipe your eyes, and reappear strong like nothing ever happened. Emotions are tough, and holding them in will not do you any good whatsoever.

I broke rule #5. She was worth it and no I didn't marry her.

Friend still doesn't know. We agreed not to tell. It's been 15+ years.

Besides, he doesn't own a gun.

+1.

Secret that I'll be burned at the stake for sharing:

Women think you're an even bigger badass for letting it all hang out there and giving your girl a little glimpse of what's going on inside your heart.

Plus it makes us really hot. :supergrin:
